Hi! I'll be using this blog for posting progress.

A few things about me:

I've been drawing since middle school. I started drawing because I had a bunch of ideas but didn't know how to draw. I came into college as an art major, but wanted to do more digital art, so I switched majors and got to learn animation, and even 3D stuff, which I initially hated. ;; Now I want to learn all sorts of stuff.

I want to do work that's meaningful. At first I just wanted to make cool things because I thought it would be fun, but I never realized how powerful media can be, and how much it plays a part in shaping our perception of the world. There are a lot of passionate fans and creators out there, and I want to get to know them, as well as the things that are important to them.

I'm very unorganized. I have a lot of ideas, but rarely can I see these ideas through to completion. It scares me a lot, actually. I could plan and write out a bunch of lists, and revise those lists and everything, but once I'm in the midst of it, it becomes another story. I don't really understand why things happen that way..

Anyway, let's hope that I can keep this blog updated with stuff. That's the idea -- to post progress, even if my work doesn't measure up to my hopes and dreams! haha

And, I know this platform isn't as open as tumblr, but if you want to put in your two cents, or want to do an art trade or something, let me know!

When You Start to Notice How Cute Frogs Are

I stumbled upon some frog photos the other day. It got me inspired to do this:   Here are some preliminary sketches: Now I've just got to... actually do the thing. /nervous sweating I haven't forgotten about Godot or programming, either. I burned out pretty quickly, but I'm gonna try my best not to drop it.

nth dimension mansion - story brainstorming

It's been a while. This week was pretty slow -- difficult to get anything done because of, well, my laziness. Anyway, back to this project. First, let's set the mood with some music. I built this table all by myself. I went through hell and it didn't help that I smoked a couple cigarettes and didn't sleep for seven days. The cofee was too strong... The first time I heard this song, these lyrics caught my ear (is that a thing?) and I thought to myself "there's a story here". Looking at these words now, it actually looks so plain, but when I listened to the music it felt to me like this guy just hopped through different dimensions and endured more than his heart could take -- all for this dumb coffee table. But he's had so much coffee, he's wired and it did things to him. That coffee table was worth all of the horribly bizzarre things that he was dragged through. Maybe he was like "dude I gotta make a coffee table for this amazing

A Cool and Helpful Detour

I found this channel called Jabrils in my youtube recommendations, and through his channel, I found his series on basic code. It's pretty amazing! In a short afternoon I learned some C# and Python, and it wasn't intimidating at all. He does a really good job of explaining things. I thought it'd be helpful to watch his videos since GDscript, the language used in Godot, is based on Python, and I learned that C# is the language used in Unity. It was neat, because sure enough, I started to recall some of the stuff that I learned in the Godot tutorials. I had the context to better understand those concepts that I'd previously followed somewhat arbitrarily. I really like the way the course is set up, because once you take the initial coding tutorial, you can then pick and choose what videos you want to watch, based on whatever concepts you struggled with. It kind of reminds me of the tutorial/hint system in Romancing SaGa, if you'd humor me for a bit: If I recall corr
